We’ve already established the problems with digging our heels in that candidates like Biden and Trump are above reproach. It really seems to be that you folks don’t want to acknowledge it with Biden for whatever odd reason you may have. I’m a bit confused, Logic. You started off with comments on Trumpies, irony, liars-presumably carrying the flag for honest Joe. You included a link to an op-ed, with such gems as “Trump said he had support, but no polls backed that up” as evidence of 20,000 lies. 20,000 man! Then you moved the needle—bravely acknowledging that maybe, perhaps maybe, Joe might have fibbed once or twice, gosh he’s been in the public eye for 5 decades. I’ll ask again—do you know the Biden number or not? 6? 11? 1800? We can’t possibly define “uncommon” without establishing first defining “common”, can we? Surely WaPo tracks these things. 3 1

I mean sure he probably won't call for a 21 gun salute when he leaves but it's a weird thing to give people to poke at. What you refuse to do is to acknowledge is that Trump broke the ***** scale on lying, I mean people had to create a debase and set new guidelines so it wouldn't' just be ridiculous and it still became ridiculous. https://lithub.com/a-hierarchy-of-american-presidential-lies/ 1

The link you provided is helpful to understand where you’re coming from to be sure. It certainly must be exhilarating to have someone do the heavy lifting on sorting through ‘lies’, ‘lie lies’, and ‘lies you needn’t fuss about’. I understand the appeal of simplifying ones life. I wouldn’t put Biden’s troop comments in a lie pile, IMO that’s more of a theatrical passive aggressive ‘look how cool I am’ appeal to his peeps. Admittedly I’m downsizing his lie count, but maybe I’m naive. Speaking of—this very cool write up and not at all subjective ‘database’ could just as easily be replaced with the lie count strategy they used for the last guy in office. Why do you figure they are employing different standards? Oh, and just to be sure I check—-what do you figure Biden’s number is? 1

I will not us the military as a show. Biden has 50K troops guarding empty streets. It is amazing how things change isn't it and the Mayor of DC hasn't told 1 national guard person that they need to get the hell out of their town and or called a National guard group a scum bag this time around as they did before but domestic terror is at a all time high ! Seeing as they are allowing them to sleep in a parking garage I'll give them a pass it just shows how good they are taking care of them . But hey people lets not bring up all this negative stuff and start hating from day 1 it will make all look just as bad as they did by pointing it out and you might just be censored if you keep it up . 1

This mindset of trump supportors vs biden supportors is a highly toxic brew and it furthers the agenda of the .0001%. The middle class has been being chipped away at for long before trump's administration by not republican AND democratic polititions. And that's the dynamic that got Trump elected in the first place. People are exhausted with the status quo polititions who have the middle class footing to bills while the ruling class reaps the profits. It's so far beyond "trump supporters" vs "biden supporters" the democratic party HAS been shipping off middle class living wage jobs overseas and the republican party HAS been allowing loopholes in tax law to allow those who can afford an army of accountants to exploit, do so. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. 3 1

GaryPinC Posted January 23, 2021 Posted January 23, 2021 21 hours ago, WideNine said: The man lost his wife and daughter in a crash and you are right, there is no proof that the driver was drunk but Biden clearly believed he was. Folks will go to their grave believing something that cannot be proven or disproven. If it was me and I believed the rumors about the driver, I would probably carry that anger with me for quite some time. I wonder how Trump would have reacted if it was his Ivanka steamrolled by another driver? First, one should keep in mind that this was 1972... Seat belts? Breathalyzers? Standards for determining DUI's at an accident scene? Reports from the boots on the ground: "This raised eyebrows, as it may indicate that Biden lied when he implied that the driver had been drinking. According to Lou Angeli, the fireman at the scene, there was no evidence that establishes or disproves that point. Angeli said that in regards to intoxication, the driver Curtis C. Dunn was not assessed, and there was no way to determine if he had been drinking at that time since neither of the police officers had breathalyzers on their cop cars. Angeli asserted that this alleged aspect of the accident was not a lie Biden made up out of whole cloth, and that right or wrong, rumor or belief that drinking had contributed to the crash was prevalent among the community." Is this tragedy really where Trump supporters want to dig? I can't speak for Trump supporters, and as I wrote, it seems like you and I are mostly on the same page. What Biden did is wrong, understandable to an extent given the circumstances, but even he knew it and made amends for it. Your point about Trump plays into my greater point, instead of making excuses for Biden or denying the reality of the situation why not acknowledge his wrong and instead focus on what he did right? How much stronger is your argument by acknowledging the reality and then turn it around and ask Trumpies if Trump would have been strong enough to apologize in the same circumstances? No reasonable person can say yes. And on some level we are all reasonable. Both the left and the right share equal efforts to deny reality and pick at isolated details to try and rewrite reality and mostly miss what's really important. Kind of like Trumpies won't acknowledge that his role in January 6th was just plain wrong and he is at fault for helping incite it. For America to heal, we need to do better than this. That is all. 2 1

Did they bank on some legal moves or procedural efforts - yes, but imagine if Trump won the popular vote like she did, yet lost the electoral???? I am fairly conservative myself and prefer tradition. I am not a fan of all the weird labels and pc-speak that folks use like a wet blanket to deflect healthy debate or criticism. I do believe folks can try harder to tone it down, tolerate, and ignore. Myself included. I was told I was "gaslighting" and "invalidating my sister-in-law's existance" (amazing powers at my disposal). My crime? I only laughed and pointed out her vegetarian hypocrisy after she ordered a huge beef chimi at a Mexican restaurant. I probably should have just let it go, but was tired and she is one of those people who is always bragging about their next life-changing fad, and the controls I normally apply on my "inside words" failed. The wife was not happy, but it get's old. Was told she was still waiting for an apology. Not happening. I am ok with the labels 1
